Studio Blog

What a weekend! Blog World & New Media Expo 2009 was absolutely amazing. As most of you know, Demand Studios had a booth at the conference and was tweeting updates from the conference floor all weekend. What you may not know, is several editors and I decided to road trip to the wonderful and always interesting "city of sin" for the last day of the event. After work on Friday we all ran home, threw clothes into bags and jumped into cars headed straight to Las Vegas, Nevada.

I wish I could have been there for more than one day because there was just a ton to see and take in. It was so interesting to see the growing amount of attention and innovation new media continues to generate.

Wandering around the convention floor, it was easy to see that Blog World is now bigger than just blogging. Live podcasts were broadcasting in booths next to a sizzling pan cooking fresh Healthy Choice branded food which stood across from a booth dedicated solely to woman in online media and education. University professors, internet strategists and a lady from Ford Motor Company's new media team were amongst the wanderers that I happened to bump into.  Everyone was engaged and excited about this new media world and it was obvious that the race to figure out ways to enhance the quality of it is on.

Cocktails were being poured with the morning coffee and the tweets were flying before noon. I love Vegas.
